Calif. judge orders police to return 60 pounds of marijuana

His lawyer says it's medical marijuana, and under California law, he's allowed to transport it. If it was exceptionally good stuff, he may be getting back whatever else they have in the back room.

House committee wants Geithner testimony over AIG bailout scandal

There seems to be some speculation that Mr. Geitner is on his way out. "Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-NY) said he plans to hold a hearing on the AIG bailouts sometime in January and plans to ask Geithner to testify about why the New York Federal Reserve told AIG to hide massive payments to banks, according to a published report." Yes, I'd like to hear the answer to that myself.

"In the aftermath of its near collapse, AIG was told by the New York Federal Reserve to keep off the books its planned over-payments to other banks that had agreed to purchase its toxic assets, most notably Goldman Sachs." Ahhhhhhh. Goldman Sachs.

Reid backpedals over ‘Negro dialect’ remark about Obama

Apparently a book is about to hit the stands which reveals that pre-presidential election Reid thought Obama's lack of a Negro dialect and his light skin would help him in the polls. Excuse me -- "‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.’" Of course, he's now apologizing if he's offended anyone. You'd think they'd learn.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
